The Bowie High School baseball team has advanced one step further than last year by virtue of a best-of-3 sweep over Whitesboro in the Conference 3A Bi-District round last weekend.
The Jackrabbits will take on Palmer on May 15-16 in a best-of-3 Area series scheduled for Chisholm Trail High School in Saginaw, a suburb of Fort Worth.
With weather permitting, Game One is set for 7 p.m. on May 15. Game Two will be at noon on May 16. If needed, Game Three will begin around 2:30 p.m. the same day.
Bowie head baseball coach Ryan Rogers said Palmer has a standout right-handed pitcher in Brian Archibald.
“They are a good team; I think they’ll throw No. 3 (Archibald) on Friday,” Rogers said. “He’s a big, strong kid. It’s going to be a big challenge coming up.”
Bowie stands at 26-1-2 on the season. The Jackrabbits haven’t lost since March 6, falling to Decatur 4-3. The team tied Castleberry at the NTX Tournament of Champions on March 19.
Then Bowie went through the District 3A-9 slate unblemished, before picking up the bi-district crown on Saturday, complete with gold glove.
The Jackrabbits have cranked up the offense recently, scoring double-digit runs in seven of their past eight games. Bowie has plated 104 runs during such time. Read more, and see complete game recaps and box scores, in the mid-week Bowie News.

Bowie, playing on a short rest, held with host Jacksboro for most of the volleyball match Oct. 1, but the Tigerettes pulled away late and defeated the Lady Rabbits 3-1 (26-24, 12-25, 25-14, 22-25).

The match was scheduled for Oct. 2 but was moved. Both teams are now 2-2 in District 6-3A.

Jacksboro got out to a quick lead in game one before Olivia Stewart’s kill and a three-point Olivia Richey serving run put the visitors up 8-7. Junior Abby Reneau broke things open with a six-point string to give Bowie a 15-8 cushion and force Jacksboro into a timeout.

The Tigerettes came back and took an 18-16 lead. KP Rutherford’s kill broke the serve and allowed Molly Enlow to tie the game at 18.

Gold-Burg Football Coach Austin Norman called his Bears’ 35-32 loss to host Perrin a “barn burner”.

It most definitely was as Gold-Burg, now 1-5 for the year gave the 5-1 Pirates everything they wanted for four quarters. Gold-Burg scored on the last play of the first half on a Peyton Epperson run with the two point conversion cutting the deficit to 20-16.

The Bears were their own worst enemy to open the third quarter with face mask and offside penalties moving the Pirates downfield setting up a first-and-goal at the Bear three. Defense by Epperson, Keelyn Case and Barrett Allen and a pair of Perrin penalties helped stop the drive and force a turnover on downs.

Gold-Burg was slapped with an intentional grounding penalty on the first play, giving Perrin a safety and extending the Pirate lead to 22-16. Defense by Epperson and JoJuan Grace after a first down run closed out the third quarter.
